SANTA'S GROTTO OPEN FOR BUSINESS

Santa is visiting Fed DataSpace again, and he has re-opened his grotto on Earth, NE from the LP. You can go and sit on the old man's lap, get a candy cane if you've been nice (and coal if you haven't) and help yourself to a toy from the lucky dip tub. You can also take a magical ride on his sleigh. Santa is also one of those chatty mobiles who will talk to you - start by typing 'SANTA HELLO' then see where the conversation takes you.

If you use FedTerm as your front-end, you can download Santa's picture from the picture gallery.

Santa isn't the only one offering Christmas spirit this year. Diesel has redecorated the bar and the roof garden of Chez Diesel on Mars, and is offering free food and drink to her customers. And she's replaced the hopper that transports her customers between the bar and the spaceport with a toboggan. You'll also find various other locations around Sol have put up some decorations for the festive season.

And you just can't avoid the fruitcake - it seems wherever you go in Sol you'll be tripping over the stuff. It's truly ubiquitous. You can eat it, or use it as an offensive weapon - and this year, there's a twist: one of the bits of fruitcake (and I'm not telling you which one) has a nice surprise inside it!

Something to look forward to is Bella's special Meet and Greet on Sunday December 28 at 3.00pm eastern in Chez Diesel, conducted by guest host Jezz.

This is the final issue of the Star before the droids head off for their Christmas break, although before they go they will be getting into a big argument about which of them has to stay in the office to cover any important news over the festive season. The Star will be back on January 18.

Meanwhile, if you'd like to give Fed2 a Christmas present, please buy some slithy toves and contribute to our "keep Fed2 running" fund, via the new PayPal facility. Go to http://www.ibgames.net/fed2/extras/index.html.

Happy Christmas, darlings!
